com.android.settings problem

[Guest Antraid]

Hi!

Whenever I try to start up my SF ZTE Blade phone, the mobile always "gets stuck", i.e doesnt start up fully, it stops working when the "asteroid explosion(?) graphic/clip" appears and it keeps on looping over and over again.

randomly sometimes it gives me an error 'com.android.settings' force close, i've searched for this problem but the solutions are for only the ppl that can start up the phone, something which i can't :/

I've tried pulling the battery out/reset/leave it on/off for hour(s), charger, etc none seem to work. :)

p.s: ive bought it yesterday and the only thing i dled from the market was a facebook app, which worked fine the day yday, this problem appeared while trying to connect to a school wifi and since then haven't been able to get my phone to work.

any hints please? :lol:

Try restoring your phone to factory settings (Don't flash any custom roms / recovery yet)

Settings > Privacy > Factory settings

(It will wipe all apps, contacts, texts ect)

problem is it's not starting up, so i cannot access anything(i.e menu/settings/startup), it stays looping at the "OrangeTM/asteroid clip" as i explained above :lol:

Oh sorry.

If you honestly haven't tried flashing any custom roms then try the following:

Take out the battery and SD card,

Plug in the charger and try to boot without both of the above.

If still no luck then you could check if clockwork is installed on the device (Or the stock recovery) by holding volume down while powering on until the menu appears

Although it could be solved by flashing custom roms / fastboot it would be best if you could return the phone, could be a hardware fault

Took out the battery & sd card and plugged it to the charger and got this error when it tries to boot up:

"Sorry!

The applications settings problem (com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly

Force Close"

I've tried the power on with volume down button a Grey box called FTM appeared, but i dont know what i can do from here on, and i dont know how/what flashing custom roms is :lol:

seems like you might need to restore to factory settings, i'm not sure if the blade's original recovery (what comes up if you hold the down button) lets you do this since your phone's not rooted but if you do not have that option there's supposed to be a way to install clockworkmod (a more useful recovery) without having access to the phone's menu.

i'll check on my father's phone as soon as he comes back from work
